Bus breakdown spells inconvenience for commuters, campus residents alike MYESHA GARNER Reporter A bus that transports Indiana State University students broke down and now students are forced to ride a smaller bus to get around campus.

The Indiana State University campus provides a number of opportunities to students, one being access to the campus bus.

Those who do not own vehicles or do not have their vehicles with them on campus are openly given the option to use campus transportation.

The breakdown of the usual campus bus has caused a number of issues recently.

Not only is the replacement bus smaller, but students are stating that there is no air conditioning and the bus may not be as efficient as the bigger bus

was.

Dior Johnson, a senior human resource major, is a frequent rider of the campus bus.

“I like the large city bus that looks like the normal bus,” Johnson said.

“The short bus never has enough room or air conditioning so it’s hot in the summer time. It takes about an hour to get to Wal-Mart and another hour to get back from Wal-Mart and back to campus.

It is a very time-consuming process to get groceries or to get to the mall.”

The bus is offered as a convenient resource to students, yet some are saying it isn’t completely convenient.

Although the bus is free to students, they must have their student ID in order to be allowed onboard.

There is a small fee that some students do not know about regarding

transportation embedded in their school fees.

Technically, students are paying for the bus whether they are riding it regularly or not.

Sydney Jackson, a junior health science major, has been riding the bus for almost three years.

“The campus bus is free, just like the city buses,” Jackson said.

Students do pay for the bus whether they use them or not. The bus service is prepaid by assessed tuition and fees, according to Indiana State’s website.

Opinions on the new bus have been all but reassuring to students.

Those who have been at Indiana State University for an extended period are accustomed to the bigger bus, so the change has not come without difficulty to some students.

Debbie Hensley, the office manager for Terre Haute Transit, provided a brief insight into the future of the new campus bus arrangement.

“The bus broke down [the engine was blown] and is being retired. That left students using the old bus 47 again,” Hensley said.

“This bus is smaller than what new students are used to. Terre Haute Bus Transit plans on getting a new bus, and it is on the way but it could take a while before students can start using this new bus.”

Although new plans may be in the works, according to the university they might not happen immediately.

Depending on a student’s outlook, the bus can either be seen as a convenient resource or a temporary inconvenience based on its recent difficulty.

Residential Life holds meeting to promote student safety Shawntale Jones Reporter Monday evening Residential Life held meetings at every residence hall on campus to allow students to learn about safety policies and to talk about recent happenings on campus.

This past Saturday a call was made to the Indiana State University, reporting a shooting incident between two males around 6 p.m. in the Lincoln Quads. Prior to this event was a Yik Yak post by a female ISU student that caused a shooting scare.

The University Police and Residential Life decided Monday to host meetings with each of the halls to get all of the students’ opinions and also to give comfort to those who felt uneasy, blinded or unsafe about both situations.Those at the meeting discussed the Resident Restrictive Access and other ways to ensure student safety.

Amanda Knerr, executive director of Residential Life, briefly explained that the meeting was to put students at ease and to let them all know that there is nothing to worry about; the University Police are on their job and we all should pitch in and report anything that seems out of the way to them or harmful to the ISU community.

Knerr encourages all students to use the blue phones posted around campus when there are any emergencies.

It was also said to use any of the front desks in the resident halls as another resort for help.

Raven Shelton, a sophomore social work major, went to one of these meetings and recalls reacting to last week’s threat.

“I felt scared about the situation, and I stayed in my room and kept calm after receiving the text alert from the University Police,” Shelton said.

Vanessa Richardson, a Residential Life associate, is pleased with responses from the University Police.

“I think that ResLife and the University Police are doing a great job with their approach towards the situation,” Richardson said.

After listening to the mixed feelings and the responses from many of the students, most had no feelings about it nor thought about what to do if they were put into the situation.

“The University Police are open and available 24 hours today and are on ready to protect, but only if they have the help of the whole student body,” Shelton said.

Nykara Brown, a junior chemistry major, also attended the housing meeting.

Shooting suspect McCauley being held without bond Kristi Ashby News Editor

Ali Pavlicek, a graduate student in Student Affairs and Higher Education, attended the Residential Life housing meeting on Monday (Photo by Kira Clouse).

“I wish all this nonsense would stop; we’re here for an education,” Brown said.

Rachael Davis, a parent located in Indianapolis, voiced her concerns with the incidents taking place here on campus.

“I’m very glad that the university has taken the initiative to help the students and also ease parents’ minds that their children are safe and left in the correct hands while away from home,” Davis said.

With the help of Residential Life and the university along with our student body, things like this can be prevented. Sycamores and pedestrians can report all incidents to the University Police located next to Pickerl Hall or by phone at 812-237-6311 to help construct this plan.

Calvin McCauley, who has been charged with shooting a fellow student Saturday, made an initial appearance at the Vigo County Courthouse in Division 6 on Monday.

McCauley is being held without bond and was issued a no-contact order with Tevin Moore, who was shot in the buttock.

The cause for the shooting is being released as a disagreement after gambling. The two men were together rolling dice before the shooting took place.

Police said Moore wasn’t very cooperative initially but later admitted what was going on the day of the incident. He was able to identify McCauley for police.

McCauley was arrested by police at his girlfriend’s house on Sunday.

Both students involved in the incident were immediately suspended from Indiana State University, a press release from ISU stated on Monday.

McCauley and Moore will receive a hearing to decide their future enrollment status after internal processes have been conducted and finalized.

Joseph Newport, the chief of police at Indiana State, is currently involved in the investigation of this case.

“We obtained a search warrant and searched the car of the suspect [McCauley] on Sunday night,” Newport said. “The gun was not found in the car.

We are working on other places that the gun could be. McCauley requested a lawyer immediately so we were not able to find out where the gun was through him.”

McCauley will go back to court on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. where formal charges are expected to be filed.

Corrections From the Sept. 29 issue: • In the Page 1 story on the campus shooting, Steve Wininger should have been credited as a reporter.

Both Wininger and News Editor Kristi Ashby reported the story.

• In the headline for the story on the state treasurer’s race, the candidate’s name was misspelled. It should say “Mike Boland running for Indiana state treasurer.”

• The month was incorrectly reported in the first sentence of the story, “The unseen cost of the Yik Yak attack.” The incident occurred on Sept. 17-18.

Student’s ID swiped, used for shopping spree Makyla Thompson Reporter A young woman used another student’s ID at the Campus Cupboard to buy food items.

Last week a student at Indiana State reported that she lost her student ID while on her way to the Union Building at 11:40 p.m. Later on she found out that someone was using her student ID at the Campus Cupboard.

The suspect who took and used the stolen student ID was caught on camera at the Campus Cupboard on Sept. 21 between 11:14 p.m. and 11:15 p.m.

That suspect appeared to be a young African American female. She was wearing red pants and a gray hooded sweatshirt that read ‘Seabury 14’ on the front.

Lt. David Smith who works with the Indiana State University police station with the criminal investigation division is currently looking in to this case.

“The victim of the missing ID came forward and filed a complaint that someone had used her ID at the Campus Cupboard and charged some food

products on to her account,” said Smith.

Sophomores Kierra Dandridge, a nursing major, and Brittney Bushey, a speech pathology major, both pay attention to where they put their IDs. “I was told not to keep it by itself in loose places,” Dandridge said.

“I keep mine in my wallet, in the clear plastic part,” Bushey said. “I don’t take it out unless I am using it; I basically treat it like a debit card.”

When a student ID is lost, there are certain steps that students need to take, potentially including getting a new one printed.

First, call Public Safety and the dining services to make sure that the ID has not been turned in already.

If it’s not found, you will need to get a replacement ID from public safety which will cost $15.

You also need to call Sodexo to change the account so people cannot use the stolen card to buy anything on campus.

If you have any questions about lost student IDs or you know information on this case please contact Public Safety by phone at 812-237-5555.

Fighting to become one:

Protesting crucial to Violence is not the correct answer social change

It’s often said that the privileged do not give up their rights easily. Why would they want to if the goal of all mankind is to survive well and look after their children and people?

One universally recognized notion is that we are all divided Columnist instead of being one.

Whether it is by white or black, rich or poor, religion to religion, clan to clan, there is separation everywhere that has been promoted and followed from only God knows when.

In the Bible there is a description of how one sibling went in one direction and created offspring and so on, but how come everyone can’t get along?

After all, we are all human beings. We all understand life and the things it requires.

We all understand emotions and some of the reasons why people do some of the things we do. So where does the violence come from? Where does revenge come from? Where does inequality come from?

Violence comes from lack of creativity. “Oh, I can’t think of any better way to solve this problem than murder.” Really? Either you’re lazy or stupid. “Say what you want, but it gets the job done.” If that is how you think then more power to you, but who are you? Are you a murderer? Do you pride yourself in killing people,

Mason Moton

families? Does this help you sleep at night? Is this what you saw yourself doing as a child? Has the life you have lived treated you so unfairly that you have become utterly cold and desensitized?

But let someone hurt one of your own, which is bound to occur, and all of a sudden you want to have a heart.

Instead, choose a different path. It might not make much of a difference, but then again it may. And who are you trying to impress? Someone else or yourself? The one you should be trying to impress is no one. Live your life and be happy. Do what you want, but why kill?

And then there is revenge, which is the main motive behind most violent acts. Is this your definition of fun?

What kind of friends do you have?

Are you that desperate that you are attracted to the first person or group who shows you affection? What a shame.

How much more of a person would you be if you didn’t sell yourself? How about you do something with your life? When it all comes down to it, this world wasn’t built on hanging out and having fun. It was built on sweat and tears. Not the easy way. But you might not appreciate that, which is cool.

Those who are willing to work, sacrifice, cry and bleed never needed your type of thinking. Where were you when the last good deed that made the news was done? Were you a part of it? If you weren’t, maybe you need some help in getting on your feet.

Maybe you need a job. Take that same

ideology you use in your personal life and apply it to the rest of your life. No more living behind closed doors. No more split personalities.

Not to get off topic but you need to understand that in the same way you can be lazy you can be efficient, in the same way you can do what you know is wrong, you do what is different. You can be so much more. But you have to see it in yourself first, because that is where it all begins: violence, love, revenge, helping others — all of it starts inside.

Don’t conform to the world, but be renewed by changing the way you think. Control your moods, control your thoughts and how you look at things, change begets change.

Lastly, inequality stems from lies.

Who told you that someone deserves this because they did that, or someone should not be able to do this because they are this way?

A liar, that’s who. Lies are easy to believe because the meaning of a lie is a trick.

Even geniuses get tricked, because a trick comes off as a fact or a truth, but when you dig deeper you find its ugly face.

That is why you must be your own guide in a lot of ways. You must tell yourself what you want to believe and determine the truth for yourself.

That means you must dig as deep as you feel like it is worth digging.

Be satisfied. Do not accept what you do not want to, but be prepared to do what we have all came here to do, work.

As Americans, we are no strangers to protest. Protesting is an incredibly American thing, and we seem to be forgetting that.

So many people act like they are unhappy with how things are going in this country, but they can’t be bothered to get off of their computers.

In Colorado right now, there are middle school students Opinions protesting.

Yet on this college campus Editor there is only one major protest that is well-known — Take Back The Night.

While still important, I don’t think it is the only issue that requires action.

We should be more active. If we don’t like something, we need to make it known. Rather than just posting an article about whatever bothers you on Facebook, use Facebook; use Twitter.

Get organized. Set up a protest. Find other people who are as angry as you are and do something about it. Have we forgotten how to enact social change?

We just sit back and allow ourselves to be unhappy. You don’t like that we’re in Syria?

Start a protest. You think women should have the option of an abortion? Start a protest.

We can solve our problems, or at least make it known that we are not happy with how things are going.

If middle school students can raise a protest, we as college students definitely can.

There is one thing that our generation of students is missing, and that is passion and political action. It’s time to stop blinding ourselves.

Sam Pepper put through grinder on sexual assault Sam Pepper is a ‘YouTuber’ who has recently come under fire for sexually assaulting women on the street in a recent video where he gropes women’s buttocks. He later posted a video showing a woman pinching men’s butts. Then he released a third video explaining Columnist that the two videos of women and men being assaulted was a “social experiment” bringing light to sexual assault on men, but I’m not really sure how assaulting women brings light to sexual assault on men.

Assaulting anyone in any way is wrong regardless of their gender, orientation or any other factor. This is not the first time he has put up a video assaulting women; he has also put up videos where he forcibly kisses women and grabs them with a lasso.

The video he released assaulting women has been removed. He has also been banned from a popular YouTube

Kelsey Golden

convention called VidCon. The YouTube community has responded and many people are asking he be removed from the website and his channel be deleted.

The company he made videos for has also dropped him in response to the situation. I think the creators of VidCon and his company have responded in a timely and appropriate manner.

In addition to the videos he put up of him assaulting women, several other women have come forward to report times he has assaulted them.

One woman, Dottie Martin, came out and said she met Pepper at a meet and greet and agreed to go to the movies with him. At the time he was 23 and she was 16. She says that in the theater she did kiss him but he wanted more. He started touching her and tried to get her to touch him. She repeatedly pushed his hands off her and pulled her hands off of him. When she tried to leave, Pepper made her feel guilty so she would stay.

After leaving she texted him saying “you are horrible.” He responded, claiming she shouldn’t have tricked him, as if agreeing to go the movies or kissing him was permission to touch her.

Another victim says she met Pepper and exchanged Facebook information.

She asked him for tickets for her and her friends to the show.

He agreed and said he could get a backstage pass for her and asked her to show up at his hotel alone. When she arrived he was watching TV, and she sat on the empty bed in the room. He then asked her to move and sit on the bed he was on.

He then removed his pants and attempted to have sex with her. She begged him not to but then he forced her to perform oral sex on him. Later he did not follow through on his promise to let them all into the show, he only let the woman he assaulted in.

He abused his power as a creator to take advantage of women. He exploited his fans and manipulated them. This type of behavior is not acceptable for anyone in a position of power. This type of behavior appears to be common among YouTube creators.

In March of this year several YouTubers including Alex Day who has the channel ‘Nerimon,’ Tom Milson who has the channel ‘hexachordal’ and Ed Blann

also known as EdPlant were all accused of having sexually abusive relationships with fans and were dropped from their record label, DFTBA records, and banned from VidCon. In 2012, Mike Lombardo was dropped from DFTBA and sentenced to five years in prison for soliciting an underage fan for nude pictures. The heads of Vidcon, John and Hank Green, also started a coalition to keep fans safe at events and in general.

Sexual assault and abuse have no place in the YouTube community. As the community grows, there are bound to be a few bad apples, but as long as they don’t let those few bad apples spoil the bunch the community can recover from it.

With strict and swift punishment for offenders, other creators will be discouraged from abusing their power.

The way the majority of fellow YouTubers and fans alike have reacted has been in support of the victims and against the offenders.

This reaction shows positive change to keep the ever-growing and everchanging YouTube community safe and happy.

November election provides opportunity for students to be heard With the polls opening up on the fourth of November, there has been a serious push for young voters to show up and vote. I know many young voters have lost faith in the system, because “our votes don’t really matter, only the electoral college’s votes matter.”

Opinions Well, I hate to break it to you, but we vote the Editor electoral college into office. We need young voters to turn out so we can vote for people who actually represent this generation’s ideas and standards.

Indiana representative Larry Buschon actually said that it doesn’t matter if the ice caps melt. This guy seriously

Kylie Adkins

represents our state. We have the power to change that, but our peers seem to just think that their votes don’t matter.

While we have seen the differences between the electoral college and the general population through the Al Gore, George W. Bush election in 2000, the problem is that the people who voted for Gore in the popular election didn’t turn out for the smaller, local elections that choose our other representatives.

If we want our generation represented we need to turn out and we need to vote.

It is our responsibility as citizens to vote.

Especially women. Come on, ladies — we fought for this right; don’t waste it.

Even though elections aren’t as publicized as they used to be, we still need to take the time to look at who is running and look up when the elections happen. Register and vote. It doesn’t take Young voters need to keep faith and realize they can take back power in Indiana politics that much time for a much larger pay off. through the polls on Nov. 4 (Photo by ISU Communications and Marketing).

Music faculty present annual recital Nathan Kasper Reporter Music faculty members Dr. Kurt Fowler, Dr. Paul Bro, Martha Krasnican and high school student Leah Rhea will present the annual faculty recital at Indiana State University’s Recital Hall on Wednesday.

Kurt Fowler created this recital with some assistance by Martha Krasnican and feels that it “comes from collaboration.”

“I really pick repertoire according to what is fun to do to work with people I enjoy working with. For me that’s what I enjoy about music,” Fowler said.

“I got into it because it was more of a social thing. Any event that requires working with people is a great opportunity.”

Fowler has been working on this program for quite a while.

“Components of [the program] I have been working on since last May, so I would say the bulk of the work has happened in the last two months.

Between two and four months,” said Fowler.

The pieces chosen for the program inspired Fowler in three ways.

“One, some of the repertoire was chosen because I think it’s really fun music; two, because it’s really challenging music; three, I think all of the music is very emotional. It has a lot of emotional content that I really appreciate,” said Fowler.

This event is being sponsored by

the Indiana State University School of Music.

“The theme [of this recital] is duos with cello,” Fowler said.

Fowler, a cellist, has taught at ISU for 17 years and also actively teaches music in Indianapolis and Terre Haute as well.

Fowler is the artistic director of the Indiana State University Contemporary Music Festival and has performed extensively throughout the United States and Europe.

Bro, a saxophonist, has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

He is a member of the Chicago

Saxophone Quartet, the Bro-Fowler Duo, the Bro-Street Duo and the Philharmonia A Vent.

Martha Krasnican, pianist, is the director of the accompanying program at ISU’s School of Music.

She has performed widely in North America and Europe and has been featured on “Spring and Fall,” a collection of her husband Daniel Powers’ work.

Rhea, a cellist, is only 15 years old. She started playing the cello at age five and has won numerous competitions and awards since then.

She is currently Dr. Fowler’s pupil, and this fall she plans on continuing

her studies at the Academy of the Music Institute of Chicago.

This recital features a variety of pieces in a variety of styles, but they all have one thing in common, the cello.

“I would say it’s a program of great music that includes cello in the primary spot that hopefully people will greatly enjoy,” Fowler said.

The program features pieces by Asha Srinivasan, Julius Klengel and Frank Bridge.

“I’m the only person who plays in all three pieces,” Dr. Fowler said.

While the program sounds exotic, it’s only expected to be about an hour and a half long.

Whatever the case, this recital won’t be boring.

“I think any performer wants the audience to walk away feeling like they experienced music at a high level. We want them to walk away with a smile on their face and an ‘I didn’t expect that,’” Fowler said.

Fowler loves teaching at ISU and appreciates the opportunities available to students and faculty alike.

“Well, I’ve had 17 really great years of teaching at ISU. I guess you could say that I enjoy the variety of things that I do [teaching cello and music appreciation].

It’s a land of opportunity for a variety of students,” Fowler said.

One great opportunity is this recital, which will take place Wednesday in the Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m.

Matthews.

This event is open to everyone and highly recommended to those who are expecting, military dads, new dads or those who just want to receive helpful tips.

“Mr. Dad” is a series of books about being a dad. Each book is packed with information for fathers-to-be.

This may not seem appealing to anyone except possible dads, but it’s sure to be more. If you’re a parent or soon-to-

be parent, this is a great way to prepare.

If you’re not, this can help you prepare for the future.

“I didn’t know about this until a friend told me about it. I’m not sure if I’m going to go, but I’m sure it’ll be interesting,” said freshman Chris Roberts, professional flight technologies major.

Whether you’re just hearing about it or have had plans to go for weeks, many ISU students have different opinions over it.

Sophomore communication major Taylor Mun has a different approach on this.

“I understand that things happen, but I don’t understand as to why there’s an actual speaker coming to speak to the students. I think this reaches out to more parents and families.” Mun said.

With all the different angles on this speaker it’s sure to be an event you can’t miss. It will take place on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Dede I.

Forgiveness: Survivor speaks of Holocaust horrors TYLER SANDERS Features Editor Holocaust survivor Eva Kor, who spent her childhood as a test subject for Nazi scientist Josef Mengele, spoke of her experience at Auschwitz in a lecture at Indiana State University Monday.

At a very young age, Kor and her twin sister were taken away from their family. Neither Eva nor her sister got to say goodbye to their dad, mom or siblings.

At Auschwitz, the people who were kept there were branded like cattle. “It took a total of four people to hold me down, two mothers and two Nazis.” She was given the number of A-7063 and her sister was A-7064. This was the only camp that branded their test subjects.

Kor has always been a giving person. In 1987, her sister’s kidneys were failing because they never grew past the size of a 10-year-old’s kidneys.

Kor never doubted that she wouldn’t donate. The transplant was done in November of that year. Her sister died June 6, 1993, due to cancer. In 1995, Kor opened the CANDLES Museum in Terre Haute to raise awareness about the Holocaust and the stories of Auschwitz twins.

CANDLES is an acronym for Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors.

To this day, she still does not know everything that was injected into her during testing.

Eva Kor speaks to the audience Monday at ISU campus (Photo by Ayden Jent).

Kor advocates for forgiveness asnd said that she has forgiven Megele, not for his benefit but for her own.

Gary Patterson, a professor in biology and science education, lived in Poland for a year only a half hour busride from the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps.

Patterson saw the gas chamber that Kor talked about during her presentation.

“This is a life-changing event,” Patterson said. “I would recommend going to hear Kor speak and also going to see the museum because there isn’t another one like it.”

Senior Joseph Jones, a philosophy and history major, said that he “was quite puzzled that this type of event [like the Holocaust] could happen, but also relieved that we have ongoing efforts to prevent it from ever happening again.”

Jones, a student in a bioethics class, had previously heard of Eva Kor because she is featured in the textbook for the class.

“We don’t have very many living links left to a very important part of our past and we must take advantage of what she offers now; you may not be able to in the future,” said Jones.

Judy Barad, a bioethics teacher, organized the event.

Being a teacher of bioethics, Barad said she was honored to have Kor as a guest speaker to tell her story about medical ethics.

There were several different lessons that Kor talked about.

During the presentation Kor “spoke with humor” that loosened up the crowd, said Barad.

Barad said she would love to have Kor back to speak again.

Dynamite showdowns galore in Week 6 Rob Lafary Sports Editor

Sooners offense too including a 242yard, four-touchdown performance in his last game. The fact the Big 12 group has a complimentary ground attack puts them up on top of an up and coming TCU team.

College football approaches the midway point this weekend as several teams continue to maintain their contention in the NCAA playoff picture.

Six games features Top-25 battles that unquestionably have major implications as the final weeks of the season loom.

No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 12 Mississippi State — A colossal SEC affair featuring a pair of undefeated teams that have proved doubters wrong all season long.

Texas A&M survived its first test of the season last week after beating Arkansas 35-28 in overtime, which came at a perfect time as the Aggies get ready to face three ranked teams in a row. Mississippi State, 4-0 on the year, is coming off a bye week after its upset of LSU on Sept. 20.

Each team features a Heisman Trophy candidate, both quarterbacks. A&M’s Kenny Hill continues to dazzle, throwing for 1,745 yards and 17 touchdowns while the Bulldogs Dak Prescott has been consistent, throwing for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns in four games.

Both teams are averaging over 40 points a contest and giving up less than 20. Expect this one to go down to the wire with the winner — staking claim in the SEC West.

No. 3 Alabama at No. 11 Ole Miss — Another dynamite Southeast Conference game with the winner sitting up top the SEC West standings with the A&M/ Mississippi State winner.

Alabama comes off a bye week after dismantling four opponents in a row including Florida two weeks ago while Ole Miss’s old-school style has been untouched against what has been a rather lackluster early season schedule.

This will be the first true test for both squads and it will be the defenses that take the stage, each ranking in the Top 10 in the nation.

The Rebels have been slightly more turnover-prone but Alabama has shown

they too have had issues on the offensive side of the ball.

The Crimson Tide’s performance could also hinder on the play of quarterback Blake Sims, who is still healing from a shoulder injury. It may be an area of emphasis for an Ole Miss “D” that has allowed just eight points a game.

The Fighting Irish have received a tremendous boost from Everett Golson who continues to excel under center.

No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn — Auburn’s road towards repeating as SEC champions begins on rocky roads against the 4-1 Tigers.

After a disappointing loss to Mississippi State, LSU responded with a 63-7 spanking of New Mexico State but a quarterback battle ensues as freshman Brandon Harris makes his first collegiate start on Saturday after throwing for 178 yards and three scores last week.

But Auburn must deal with its own set of problems if they want to reach 5-0 and continue to stay on top of the SEC battle.

Injuries have put a slight damper on the Tigers’ parade and it has shown as the offense has been inconsistent in its last two games and has struggled to convert on third downs. A win could go a long way for the two teams.

No. 19 Nebraska at No. 10 Michigan State — Michigan State still believes they can lock up one of four postseason playoff spots but another loss this season would put an end to that goal.

As for Nebraska, a win against the Spartans would not only continue a stellar start, but also put the Cornhuskers in legitimate contention for a Big 10 championship and playoff berth.

Not only has Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. thrown for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns but the Midwest gunner has also ran for over 400 yards to go along with senior Ameer Abdullah’s 833 yards and eight scores on the ground.

Such an elite offense squares off against a Michigan State defense that hasn’t seen such an attack since No. 3 Oregon on Sept. 6. But the Spartans are no slouch either when scoring, averaging 50 a game, which is third-best in the country.

A hometown East Lansing crowd also bolsters MSU’s chances.

Accolades roll in for fall athletes Sycamore football cracks FCS top 25 Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State football program has returned to the national polls with a No. 25 national ranking by The Sports Network while senior quarterback Mike Perish has been named the National Offensive Player Of The Week by two different outlets following the Sycamores 38-19 victory over No. 22/23 Liberty on September 27 inside Memorial Stadium.

The Sycamores are ranked No. 25 this week

by The Sports Network and were just five points shy of joining the FCS Coaches Poll as announced Monday.

It marks Indiana State’s first return to the national polls since the final regular season poll in 2012. Indiana State opens Missouri Valley Football Conference play on Saturday, October 4 at home against No. 10/10 Northern Iowa. This will be the first matchup between two nationally-ranked opponents involving Indiana State since a Nov. 3, 2012 contest against Illinois State. The Sycamores are looking for the program’s first-ever victory in a game featuring two teams placed in the nation’s Top 25.

Mike Perish has been named the National Offensive Player Of The Week by two different national outlets.

Both The Sports Network as well as the College Sporting News have honored him.

It is the second time this season he has been honored nationally with the other coming after his performance in a 27-20 road victory over FBS opponent Ball State.

Perish is the first quarterback in the history of the program to record three different 300yard passing performances in one season.

Perish was earlier named the MVFC

Nord named MVC offensive player of the week

Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season — the third of his career — as he accounted for four total touchdowns against Liberty. He continued his impressive start to the campaign by connecting on 39-of51 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns and added a one-yard scoring rush in the fourth quarter. His 39 pass completions are a new school record, topping the previous best of 33 set in 2005.

He found Gary Owens over the middle for a 17-yard touchdown pass to stake ISU to a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. He then completed a six-yard screen pass to Dimitri Taylor to answer a quick strike from the Flames to retake a 17-10 advantage in the second quarter. Perish then went 10-of-12 passing on the Sycamores’ final drive of the first half as he capped a 14-play, 84-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Robert Tonyan for a 24-13 lead at the break.

His final score of the day put Indiana State in front 31-13 late in the fourth quarter with one-yard quarterback sneak to account for his fourth touchdown.

Earlier this week, junior linebacker Connor Underwood was named the MVFC Defensive Player of the Week while junior wide receiver Gary Owens captured his second MVFC Newcomer Of The Week Award.

The Sycamores are one of a league-record eight different MVFC programs to earn a spot in either of the national polls.

In The Sports Network Top 25, North Dakota State maintains its No. 1 national ranking while South Dakota State checks in at No. 9. Northern Iowa is No. 10 while Southern Illinois is No. 15. Youngstown State is ranked No. 19 while Illinois State is No. 22 and Indiana State is No. 25.

Junior setter Erika Nord has been named this week’s Missouri Valley Conference volleyball offensive player of the week, the league announced on Monday. Nord picks up the honors after guiding Indiana State to two Valley wins over the weekend.

Nord turned in a pair of double-doubles, guiding Indiana State to victories over Evansville and Southern Illinois at ISU Arena on Friday and Saturday. In two matches, Nord dished out a combined 112 assists, recorded 21 digs, three kills, four service aces and three blocks.

Against Evansville, the Portage, Mich. native dished out 52 assists, helping ISU post one of its best hitting percentages of the season with a .346. She also added three digs, two kills and a service ace against the Purple Aces.

In the five set win over Southern Illinois, the junior setter distributed a career-high 60 assists to go along with 18 digs for her team leading eighth double-double of the season.

Nord also contributed with three blocks against the Salukis, helping ISU win against the conference foe for the first time since 2011.

The weekly honor is the first for Nord in her career and is the first Sycamore to earn accolades this season. ISU returns to the court on Friday when it hosts Illinois State at 7 p.m. in ISU Arena.

Story from ISU Athletic Media Relations

Underwood named to award watch list

Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations

Indiana State junior linebacker Connor Underwood has been named to the 2014 Buck Buchanan Award Watch List yesterday by The Sports Network.

The Buck Buchanan Award, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this season, honors the outstanding defensive player in the FCS. The Sports Network also presents the Walter Payton, Jerry Rice and Eddie Robinson awards.

Underwood, who was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week following this past week’s victory over Liberty, becomes the first Sycamore to appear on the Buchanan Watch List since Ben Obaseki in 2012. Connor’s older brother, Colton — of Illinois State — was on the list during both the 2012 & 2013 campaigns. The younger Underwood has enjoyed two productive seasons at Indiana State and is off to a fast start in 2014. He earned all-conference first-team honors a year ago and was on the preseason team this year.

He has been outstanding for the 25th-ranked Sycamores with a team-high 32 total tackles, including 16 solos, 9.5 tackles for loss and five sacks through four games. He also has five QB hurries, two pass breakups, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble. He is tied for the MVFC lead in both quarterback sacks and tackles for a loss and ranks in the top six nationally in both categories.
